El Loa Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto El Loa) (IATA: CJC, ICAO: SCCF) is the major airport serving Calama, a city in the Antofagasta Region of Chile. It is one of the largest airports in Chile.
The airport is 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from the city centre. It currently accommodates aircraft with a maximum wingspan of 36 metres (118 ft), so it is limited to narrow-body airliners like the Airbus A320 or Boeing 737. There are plans to construct a second runway with capacity to accommodate wide body jets and military aircraft.
Previously, it became an international airport and serves international flights to Lima, Peru. which was operated by LATAM Peru[2] but it was suspended in March 2020 due to the pandemic.[3]
